Solihull is known for leafy roads, large detached houses and gardens with tall hedges and mature trees. In that setting, a fence needs to look right as well as work properly. We supply and fit close-board and panel fencing in Solihull, along with replacement posts and gates, and we aim for a neat, solid finish that suits the property rather than competing with it.
We are based in Hall Green and often work in Shirley and Olton. Below we explain how we approach larger boundaries, mixed hedge and fence lines, and the practical questions that come up with conservation areas in Solihull.
Large Solihull gardens mean long boundaries, and it is rare for the whole length to be in the same condition. One side may be sound while the back fence is leaning and the side by the drive has lost panels. We walk the whole boundary with you, mark what is sound and what is not, and put together a plan that renews only what needs it.
Where a stretch is on show from the road or a neighbour's lawn, we can suggest a closer-boarded finish with a tidy top line. For the quieter back boundary, panel fencing may be all you need. Mixing the two is perfectly reasonable, as long as the posts and heights are planned so the transition looks deliberate. In Solihull, where plots are generous, that kind of planning shows.
Many properties here are screened by tall hedges, and often the answer is not to replace them but to work with them. A hedge gives a soft, green boundary, but it can have gaps at the base, or thin patches where a fence would help. A fence set just behind or within the hedge can fill those gaps while the planting keeps its character.
Where a hedge has outgrown its position, we can cut it back hard, reduce its width or remove it, and then fit a fence along the same line. Mature trees near the boundary need thought, since their roots affect where posts can go. We look at each one before deciding the post positions, so that no post is dug in over a main root. A Solihull hedge or tree line can then stay healthy beside the new fence.
Parts of Solihull are conservation areas, and front boundaries and gates beside a road are where rules tend to bite. Check with the council about permission and height before you order anything. For rear and side boundaries the rules are usually simpler. Either way, we agree the line with you, fit the fence and gate, and take the old fence away so the garden is left tidy.
Based in Hall Green, so we are never far from the gardens we work in.
We look at the job before we price it, so you know what is involved.
Branches, clippings and rubbish from our jobs are cleared and the garden left tidy.

Possibly, especially in a conservation area or beside a road. Height limits are tighter at the front. We suggest you check with the council first, and once you know what is allowed we can recommend a style and fit it.
Often yes. We can cut the hedge back to make room, then fit a fence just inside or behind it, keeping the green screen while closing gaps. We look at the root spread and the hedge's condition before deciding.
We can fit side gates, garden gates and wider access gates to match the fence, hung on strong hinges with a secure latch. Tell us how the gate will be used and how wide the opening is, and we will build it to suit.
